Page 21: Quick-Release Lever Overview
QUICK-RELEASE LEVER OVERVIEW WARNING! Riding with an improperly tightened quick-release lever will result in the saddle to drop down inside the trike’s frame and/or the saddle to twist which can cause you to lose control, fall, and be injured. Less than a half a turn of the tension, the adjusting nut can distinguish between a safe and unsafe clamping force. If you have trouble clamping the quick-release lever closed, seek a bike shop, a neighbor, friend, or a family member for help. -
Page 22: Seatpost & Saddle Height
TECH TIP: Keep in mind, positioning the seat above the level of your handlebars can result in increased pressure on your neck, wrists, arms, and back. NOTE: The electric Fat Trike’s seatpost does not feature white lines; these were used in the image solely for reference to highlight specific areas. -
Page 23: The Stem 23
Less than half a turn of tension on the stem bolt can make the difference between an unsafe and safe clamping force. TECH TIP: Before you begin adjusting the height of your stem, it will be easier if you straddle the electric Fat Trike to determine your proper stem height. -
Page 24: Regarding The Stem Rise
REGARDING THE STEM RISE For an enjoyable experience on your electric Fat Trike, it’s crucial that the handlebar is easily reachable, optimizing your riding posture. The stem rise refers to the stem’s inclination connecting the fork to the handlebar. A positive degree angle (+) implies a more elevated stem rise, facilitating a more upright riding stance. -
Page 25: Removing The Battery
Removing the battery also lessens the temptation for thieves to target your electric Fat Trike. 2) While Charging– Charge the battery indoors (within a house or garage) and avoid environments with extreme temperature fluc- tuations (10°–30°C or 50°–86°F), direct sunlight, moisture, or condensation. -
Page 26: Installing The Battery
INSTALLING THE BATTERY 1) Start by aligning the battery’s track (image 12) with the corresponding track within the trike’s frame (image 13). 2) Carefully slide the battery along its track towards the trike’s frame (image 14), ensuring a smooth descent until it securely connects with the frame (image 15) 3) After insertion, firmly press down on the battery handle until it sits flush against the battery’s surface (image 16). -
Page 27: Battery Overview
ABOUT THE BATTERY KEYS The electric Fat Trike comes standard with two battery keys for the battery ignition, locking, and unlocking the battery.

Page 30: Charging The Battery 30
Failure to monitor the battery and/or charger may result in a fire, explosion, injury, or death. TECH TIP: The electric Fat Trike's battery is "memory free." You aren't required to discharge the battery entirely during use, but it's much better for the battery to not drain to 0%. -
Page 31: The Charging Indicator Location
CHARGING THE BATTERY (CONTD.) WARNING! DO NOT leave the battery charging unattended or after the charge is complete for more than what is required for battery balancing (three hours). More than three hours could result in a fire, explosion, injury, or death. If you see or smell smoke or a burning smell, immediately stop charging, remove the charger from the battery, and take the battery and charger outside and far away from any combustible products. -
Page 32: Driving Overview

Page 34: Braking Overview 34
PRACTICE IS KEY To ensure optimal safety and control while riding the electric Fat Trike, mastering the art of braking gradually and coming to a smooth stop is paramount.

Page 35: The Parking Brake Overview
THE PARKING BRAKE OVERVIEW The parking brake serves as a valuable feature for the electric Fat Trike, ensuring it remains stationary. This mechanism offers riders an easier and more stable method for mounting and dismounting the trike. Especially crucial when parked on an incline, the parking brake prevents the trike from rolling away. -
Page 36: Front Suspension Fork

When you receive your electric Fat Trike, it will be set with the suspension in the OPENED OR UNLOCKED open or unlocked position. -
Page 37: Tire Inflation
HOW TO INFLATE AND DEFLATE A TIRE The electric Fat Trike utilizes a Schrader valve similar to a car tire. To add air to the tube, begin by removing the valve cap and attaching the floor pump fitting securely to the valve stem.

Page 46: Maintenance And Service Guidelines 46
Do not inflate a tire beyond the maximum pressure (30 PSI) indicated on the tire’s sidewall. Over inflation can cause the tire to burst off the rim, posing risks to the trike, rider, and others nearby. While the sidewall of the electric Fat Trike tires suggests a pressure range of 5-30 PSI, we urge you to avoid pressures in the 5-11 PSI range. -
Page 47: Post-Ride Routine
